Basic Site Issues Adequate site size, including
setbacks? Adequate satellite access? Existing structures? Adequate utility access? Adequate parking areas for staff &
guests? Suitable public transportation?

BASIC SPACE ISSUES Site determines building footprint. Building footprint and number of floors
control total size: “gross square footage.” Gross square footage minus “non-useable”
areas = Net Assignable Square Feet. Ratio of NASF to GSF = “Efficiency factor” Maximize efficiency

MAXIMIZING EFFICIENCY Use “high density” filing and shelving
systems Have as few hallways as possible Use hallways as “rear-door” service areas Modular office systems reduce walls and
hallways Modular systems reduce air handling cost Modular systems allow future flexibility

OPTIMIZE USE OF NON-ASSIGNABLE SPACE Hallway wall-space is valuable Determine what equipment must
move through hallways. Think of restrooms as “public
space.” Think of lobbies and adjacent
areas as “public space”

PUBLIC SPACES Space for receptions / celebrations Adjacent space for overflow Conference facilities for public use Food service / catering facilities Adjacent restrooms for public
functions Plan for easy maintenance

DETERMINE ADJACENCIES Which rooms/functions MUST be adjacent
to each other? Which rooms/functions should be NEAR
each other? Which rooms/functions should NOT be
near each other? What are the most frequent traffic
patterns? Studios at external walls? Or in inner core?

AIR HANDLING ISSUES Double-size air handling ducts: large
volume at low velocity No sharp edges in ductwork At least two 90-degree bends in studio
ducts Acoustic insulation inside ducts. No direct connections between audio
sources No roof-mounted air conditioning systems

ELECTRICAL ISSUES Emergency power supply? How
large? Uninterruptible power supply? Total electrical load? Other facilities sharing same feed? Alternate power sources? Automatic? Fluorescent fixture “hum?”
